"JItee ofARTFUL ExPEDENT.-A laborer inItaly, employed in throwing down rubbish from a house, called to the passengers to takecare ; but one of them,paying no attendier to the warning,was wounded by a stone. He citedthe man at the court of justice, and deianded damages. A celebrated advocate undertook the def'ence of the la.borer; but he found it impossible toprove that his client had really warnedthe passengers to take care, ho hadrecourse to an expedient to gain hisobject.When the case therefore came tobe tried, an the defendant was askedwhy lie had thrown down the stonesso heedlessly, he stood mute and motionless. 'The judge repeated his question, but he maintained an obstinatesilence ; and when the judge expressedhis surprise at it, the advocate saidthat his client was, unfortunately, deafand dumb."No, no," exclaimed the plaintiff,off his guard, "it is Ihlse, it is an evasion ; I myself heard hint very plainlysay, 'Take care !"" And why, then, did you not fol.low his warnings ?" said the judge,smiling, as he dismissed the case.HAYNSWORTH & GREEN,wMI. II AYNswAORTII. .1O1!N T. GitEEN.ATTORNEYS AT LAW.SU,1i'IRIVILLE, S.
